The New Oxford Organ Method

The New Oxford Organ Method focuses on the organs rich repertoire, using carefully selected pieces as the inspiration for learning the instrument. Each chapter focuses on a single piece to demonstrate and instruct players in pedalling and finger-work, registration, practice methods, and historically informed interpretation. Detailed technical descriptions are supplemented with illustrative photographs, and acquired techniques are reinforced through short musical studies that provide practice material and are also suitable for wider application. A comprehensive approach, the Method is designed for all organists, with or without a teacher, but in particular those seeking an integrated course of study that embraces the literature and practical music-making.
